One of the very best woodworking videos around. These jigs are universally the simplest I've encountered for each function. And so well presented and narrated. Thank you!

This is one of the very best videos I've ever watched and had the privilege of learning from. Thank you.

Found it pretty amazing that Mr Pekovich narrated and demonstrated so many jigs for over 12 minutes without any breaks or splices (that I could tell). GREAT pointers. Thank you.

One of the most useful videos to come out of Fine WW. Thanks Mike and your production crew.

Your dedication to accuracy is inspiring. Thank you.

Man, you are good, and an excellent teacher. I will so need to get busy building these. Thanks to you, and also all the FW folks.

THE most helpful woodworking video I've seen in youtube. Thanks!!

This was a great place to see all of the most used jigs in one spot for hand wood working. Thank you!

Hey Mike, Great video. You present your information quickly and clearly, without rambling on. This video was good stuff from the get go. Thanks, I look forward to more in the future.

I think you just planned my weekend for me. Excellent jigs, good instructions, and great ideas. Thanks Mike

Wow that is astonishingly simple yet ingenious set of jigs. Deeply grateful for your sharing it because so many challenges will be overcome by copying jigs you’ve show. 👍🏻

Best use of my time this year was watching this video. Saved me years of trial and error and perhaps a finger or two.

Dang! One of the most instruction packed videos I've ever seen.

What an efficient and clear walkthrough of some incredibly useful wood-holding jigs. So glad I stumbled on this one!

Well, I have to say that was one of the best videos I have ever seen in the making of jugs that are necessary in having for wood working. Thank you.

Mike, thanks! getting ready to make a few more jigs for my bench and this video hit the spot! at a minimum it got me seriously thinking about how to make all of my routine operations easier, more pleasurable and much less frustrating. in other words, you just gave me a great place to start so thanks! lots of simple yet genius ideas you have that make woodworking more efficient which translates to enjoyment!

One of the very best jig instructional videos I've come across !! Kudos Sir ! Kudos.

Thank you for these unique techniques Mike !

This is really amazing video Mike! So helpful I love the simplicity of your jigs especially the cross long miter one. Thanks a lot :) all the best!

I made a shooting board and a bench hook, but you've gone far beyond. Very creative, yet simple. I can tell that you really can get almost all of your handwork done with these jigs. Thanks for sharing them with us.

I will say it too. This was an extremely info packed video. I knew about a few of these but all of these are great devices I can make from scraps. Thank you so much for this.

Been looking all over KZread for some of the best of these idea. They're all right here! Should have started here!

That is absolutely right.That was also my first thought.....

Mike, you're my hero. I particularly like your shooting boards.

Just one excellent 👍 demonstration, sir. Thank you for your advice.

These are fantastic tools to add to a bench, I've been using the planing stops all the time, thank you for sharing these ideas! We live in a golden age of eduction and this is a prime example of it!

An exceptional training video. So many good ideas, clearly explained and clearly well thought through. I will be building at least 3 of these (probably all) for our wood room at college. I'll link this video after demonstrating them to give credit and get (some) young minds thinking. Thank you Fine Woodworking and thank you, Mike!

That speed square miter trick is brilliant. This is a first class video. You should be very proud. As I am very grateful.

Thank you for posting, i have learned so much in this short video, this has given me a great foundation to build from. Much appreciated ...

Really clear and practical tips. I like the simplicity of the various work holding jigs.

calm, accurate, clever, fun to watch, grate teacher!!!

WOW - A 12:14 minute video and a SOLID 12:00 minutes of quality instruction. EVERYTHING you said and all those jigs are a must have for all woodworkers. Yes, small parts are dangerous to cut with power tools and by using your jigs, the cuts can be done safely and probably more accurately. GREAT VIDEO!!

I have to agree. So many KZread videos have a ratio of 5 minutes of filler/sales pitch to 2 minutes of content. There were so many good ideas in this video that I've bookmarked it and plan to make all of the jigs eventually but I'm starting with the bench hook and following it with the dedicated shooting board.

Very nice job providing excellent information on a great collection of jigs. Thanks

Your modified speed square is brilliant! Thanks so much for sharing.

Great tips....the 90° stop is a great idea! And the shooting board will make my shop efforts productive. Thankyou mr. M.P.

Aloha Mike and Mahalo , this was a very well put together video and timely for me , since now after being blind sided and waking up from a coma 2months later [6 years ago] I now also am reduced to home bound and for safeties sake 'unplugged' . These jigs are worth there weight in sweat and good work . All you boys with these nice shops to work in , makes me hope that that too will come about . For the mean time , I have a uneven back yard that 3 legged work benches merits of self leveling legs make my able to putt along . Vertigo ,24/7 at this point ,but its better than being under the lawn playing cards with Elvis ! Mine own collection of F.W.Wooding is now only digital , since here ,termites eat the print right off the pages . So many historic restoration I had apart of in my union days were due to Fine Wood Workings Articles , and I meet Tage F. as a boy at Mystic Sea Port on board one of his jobs there . We lived than on Long Island 20 or so miles across the Sound . His works inspired my early day woodwork , but not until we moved to Hawaii could I really get into fine pieces . Koa is king here , and if you want your work to sell ,it must be made good but also out of Koa . Again Mahalo for your nice video , Mark Baker

fantastic, and efficient delivery!

Great demo. I have made 3 of the six and look forward to completing the rest. Excellent tip to change the stop depending how the saw cuts, push or pull.

I'll save this video under extremely useful! plus... you have a knack for teaching. Simply explained and easily understood. thanks

Super useful work holding tips and so well presented - ten thumbs up!

Really - this video is timeless. Wish I had come upon it much earlier. Thank you.

Hi Mike, meet you at Woodworking Live 2018 this past week and told you I'd never heard of you! My loss!!! I learned more in you 18 min video on jigs for hand tools than from any other source. Awesome work, and thank for sharing your mastery with us beginners!

Love it, love, love it. You are true inspiration. Thank you .

I retired twelve years ago, spent ten years travelling the world, and am now enjoying a foray into woodwork. This sort of basic stuff is exactly what I need. Thank you.

Absolutely amazing video. Honestly, I think this video will change the way I work. Gratitude.

Just found this. Very informative! Appreciate you taking the time to make this video.

This one is a keeper. Thanks Mike!

Well done. Simplicity is the key to design and these simple jigs make the the plane function like a surgeon’s scalpel. Thank you so much Mike, you are a great teacher.

Just have to say your presentation was Excellent !

This is a terrific video Mike. Thank you. Nicely done.

Excellent solutions impressive in their simplicity. Simply a great presentation. Concise and to the point with no yada yada yada so prevalent in many how to videos.

plastic speed square - GENIUS! ... on my way to pick one up

Excellent presentation, thank you

You Sir, are a intelligent Man, a master of his craft! Thank You! For posting this video, it is/was of immense help to me.

Brilliant!! Great way to get consistently accurate results. Thank you.

Shame on youtube showing me this video after thousands of woodworking videos watched. Phenomenal keep it up

Great ideas, Mike. Although I'd seen and heard of most of them before, I've been too lazy to get around to making all but the first one and the bench hook! Guess I've got some homework to do. Thanks for the prompt.

Really great video... Also, nice project in the background. Thanks Tim.

Best KZread video I’ve ever watched! Thanks

THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE!

Clear, precise and efficient. Nearly every other person's video instructs the viewer by using a table saw. Gee. If only I had one (or the space).

Such amazing tips Mike. Thanks so much. Was actually a little weird to SEE you talking after about 4 months of STL on my headphones. I also loved seeing the little kumiko cabinet in the background that was in your book. 'Cause we heard you have a book (or two) now.

Those shooting boards, brilliant!

Thank you for sharing these tips. One thing I struggle with are 45 degree cuts for picture frame / boxes. You have presented a method where I can ensure that these angles will be correct! Great video and presentation!

Excellent tools! Thank you for sharing ideas.

Excellent video. Have solved some of my problem areas, thanks Mike.

I'm just starting to learn about bench Hooks and various jigs. Thanks this is a great variety of ideas in a short video.

So simple yet so efficient. I continue to unplug more tools the more I learn about woodworking.

Excellent information there, Mike. Thanks.

Fantastic overview! Thank you

A great video. Good to see the bench hook mentioned, so often overlooked in favour of fancy pants jigs.

Great tips clearly demonstrated in record time. Great. Thanks

T-block brings back memories .. nice video, thanks 👍🏼😊

So may great yet simple ideas! Thanks a bunch for sharing!

Really interesting video, even for an absolue amateur like me. Your work and your tools and jigs are awesome. Congrats for your videos!

Brilliant video, all great jigs and very well explained. Lovely stuff!

Made and use all the jigs and they are outstanding. Thank you !!!!

Priceless. Some many good tips. Thanks guys.

Once again, Mike comes thru. That's why you're #1

I’m going to make all of them when I get a chance , I think this is the best video about jigs I have seeing

Real nice! Thank you for posting!!

Great video, very well explained. Now need to start building jigs.

Excellence. Great jigs, great explanation of their uses.

Simple, but Awesome. Thx a lot for sharing your expertise.

Excellent info, excellent presentation. Thank you.

I am moving to more hand tool use for multiple reasons, this video was so helpful.

Very helpful and informative video. I liked that you explained everything so well. I subscribed.

Good stuff, thanks. Interesting take on the shooting boards for cleaning up 45° cuts. These appear significantly simpler (which I like) compared to other FW shooting board projects.

Excellent video. Very useful methods. Thank you.

excellent video; very helpful. Thanks

awesome! I just finished my bench and have collected some hand tools. holding things down solid for some reason has been difficult. thanks so much!

Mike. I love the 45 degree shooting board! Thanks for sharing your experience

Great information. Thank you Mike!!

Thx, what an excellent tutorial on making your work more accurate and workibg more easy👌

Thanks so much for these excellent reminders Mike. After many years in our trade we can become complacent- I'm sure i have anyway. It's a joy to watch you work and inspires me to get back to some basic jigs. Cheers.

What can I say apart from such a generous, clever artisan. Thank you so much.

Superb ideas. Thanks for sharing.

simple designs are the best! Thanks for this video. Its brilliant.

Amazing, Thank you for showing
